It involved several vehicles on M-14 near the Gottfredson exit, which is just outside the city of Ann Arbor, MI. The road was shut down to clear the damaged vehicles involved and clean the debris also left behind by the crash. Crews worked thoroughly for two days to clean the whole mess.

One Washtenaw County Sheriff that was at the scene of the accident released a statement in which he referred to it as "a pretty major incident."
